java.io.IOException: Not Allowed (405) for medium sized file

When trying to push a 23MB .war file with the site-maven-plugin to a private github repository I get the following stacktrace:

[DEBUG] Creating blob from webapp.base-0.1.war

My settings.xml looks as follows:

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
                      http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>github</id>
      <password>[oauth token from my profile configured with private 'repo' access]</password>
    </server>
  </servers>
</settings>

Since I can upload small .jar and .pom files using with the same settings.xml I assume the issue is caused by file size (given that the "creating blob from file" step seems to take a while). I am aware that there is a 1GB repository and 100MB file size limit on all github repositories.

Any help would be appreciated.

I noticed this yesterday while trying to upload a 27 MB .jar to a public repo, using a configuration that's worked perfectly on other projects.

I'm using version 0.9 but other than that the exception is the same. I've regenerated the OAuth token but I'm sure it's not really an auth/permissions thing.

I've moved on to Nexus... Pity, I liked the poor man's repo solution...

I'm still using Github as the repo, but I'm having to manually upload the artifacts - annoying, but it works.
